Garlic Rice Noodle Soup Bowl

Think of this as a vegan version of Pho (vietnamese beef noodle soup). Infused with traditional spices like coriander, tumeric and cumin. Makes a light, convenient warming lunch. C'mon, it's time to try something new other than those MSG, artificially flavored, salt-laden "ramen" soups that you've had all your life.

Listing Details

If you're looking for a quick lunch, this is a good option. The package includes directions for cooking in the microwave or cooking with boiling water. I chose the microwave option, but found that the noodles were nowhere near cooked at the end of the cooking time. I ended up pouring the bowl into a pot and cooking it on the stove until the noodles were done (about another 4 minutes).

The finished product ends up being sweet and salty and garlicky, but definitely not as overwhelmingly salty as a typical ramen noodle soup. There was actual flavor to this, whereas every ramen noodle soup I've had has just tasted like salt.

The full bowl has 260 calories, 4 grams of fat, and 1340 milligrams of sodium -- that's 56% of the RDA right there -- so it's still plenty salt-laden. At $0.99 per bowl, this is a great bargain, and a nice step up from other dried soup mixes.
